A native of England, Catherine moved to Napersville, Il, where in 1998 she discovered quilting. Five years later she was teaching at her local quilt shop, which she continued to do until the shop closed in 2013. Now she teaches and speaks at Guilds and Quilt Shows around the country. She is a member of Fiber Art Divas, an art group that meets at Naperville Art League and of PAQA, the professional art quilt group. In 2012 she co-founded the Naperville Modern Quilters Guild to further explore the modern quilt aesthetic. She has appeared on Quilting Arts TV and contributes to several magazines. She is the author of two Modern Machine Quilting QATV workshop DVDs, and two books, Modern Machine Quilting (Interweave press) and Butterfly Stitches (C&T Publishing).
